Cyberpunk 2077

I thought I'd try that game again, seeing as I have new hardware. I bought the Phantom Libery DLC and everything.

Well... I detest the changes they made to the game since the last time I had it installed. The showstopper was nerfing the way health packs work, now there's a cooldown period before you can use another one. I don't know when they added that, but it wasn't like that last time I played it.

So I just uninstalled the game and sent the DLC back unplayed. Not tolerating that. If they want to change my game out from underfoot years later, they need not look for my money. The Witcher 3, they pushed out that Enhanced version an changed the way one of the abilities worked. One I relied on (Yrden, for trapping spectre-like enemies so you can fight them without them vanishing) and I rebought that on GoG so I could have the original back.

Ridiculous to put a cool down on something as basic as a health pack, especially when it's done retroactively. I bet they did it in response to those players who are always complaining about every game that "it's too easy!".

[Grogan]

It's too easy... for everyone else to play. That's the only reason they'd complain about "too many health materials" (they cut that down... there aren't as many of them to pick up in game anymore either) and wanting to put a cooldown on it. If they are that "good" then why are they taking damage to care about health packs?

I see Flopps just purchased this game

[Grogan]

It must have been a desperation sale for him to decide on that now

(He's probably going to say "Bollocks!" )

I hadn't launched this game since 2021 so I launched it tonight. I don't remember the launcher being like this:

I'll probably never play that again.

That launcher looks ridiculous. I used to like that game company, but no more. GoG is distancing themselves from them now, even. It's being re-acquired by one of its original co-founders, in order to keep its ideology.

The only way I'll buy Witcher 4 is if there is a god mode cheat. They took all that stuff away with the Witcher 3 remaster, so probably not. Otherwise, I'd never finish one of those games.

This was a two part launcher, before this came up there was another one promoting whatever their "Ultimate" upgrade is, and a prompt to sign in. I clicked "continue without signing in" which landed me on the second part.
